My philodendron is putting out weird small leaves at the top, is it time to propagate it? I don’t have experience with propagation so not sure when/if I should do it

Climbing plants change their leaf size depending on how securely connected to a tree/moss pole they are. Making smaller leaves when it can't find more tree keeps the vine lightweight so it can reach further in search of something to grab. If you want it to go back to big leaves, provide it with more pole to climb. Also yours looks like it may be doing a solid white leaf; those can't photosynthesize so you'll need to trim the stem back to where there's green (your plant is big enough that you can keep the white leaf for now and enjoy it while it lasts. Just trim it back when it's done to encourage new growth)

Wow, what type is it exactly? I can't see any pink or red on the stems so maybe a ⚪️🧙‍♂️?

Honestly no idea 😂 I thought it was a white princess but now looking at it it might be a white wizard
